Search hotels in Alcoy

Alcoy seems to be an interesting place. It is not huge, so it is easy to walk around. There are many cafes, bars and restaurants. However, we did find it difficult to find vegetarian options around the town, so we ended up having dinner at a shopping mall in a chain restaurant. A really tasy veggie burger though! The local scenery is stunning. I would recommend a drive to Font Roja just to appreciate the local lanscape and enjoy some walking routes. I would visit again but choose different accomodation.

Alcoy is a lovely, authentic Spanish town with a perfect mix of old and new. A wonderful, safe, atmosphere and very friendly people. Being the birthplace of the great Camilo Sesto makes it so very special for his fans from all around the world.

A very traditional and authentic Spanish town without the usual tourist trappings you find in many of the coastal regions of Spain. The nearby mountains are beautiful and spectacular and there are a number of great walks along well maintained mountain tracks you can explore.

Moderately interesting historic sector. We were amazed at the number of restaurants closed and the lack of eating places generally. It was out of season but even those premises that were open were not serving meals, only sandwiches/baguettes. Had to eat in hotel one night - only had menu del dia with no alternatives. Managed to find a cafe that did great tapas second night and made do with that. Town is quirky in the topography which takes a bit of getting used to. Good for photos of bridges and surrounding mountains. Font Roja Natural Parc was lovely but even there the restaurant was closed and no cafe.

Interesting city, with some great museums and buildings. Visited the museum of moor & christians festival, which is well worth a visit Also the museum of firefighters which outlines the history of the building and industry in the area and the development of the bomberos in Alcoi. The layout of the city and its bridges offer some great photo opportunities. Plenty of cafes to stop at and refuel

Great for me as I like walking. Very hilly. Hard work. It rained the second day, but we avoided this by going to a museum of the festivals (there are several museums there for bad weather) and it was dry when we went walking. It is, like most towns, expensive if you do not live there and spend most of your time in the centre, although we found a veggie place that did good food at good prices in the main area, but the museum was very cheap and great value for money. I think it is better for a short couple of days like ours, but might get boring after a week or so unless you know what is going on there. Some lovely churches (only saw exteriors - many churches around Spain charge for entry). A lot of traffic in the town as the hills mean most people drive.
